ok so i want to change my jap wii to pal, but i need to change my modchip region. i opened up and found what looks like a modchip it says d2c2 key-9. i googled it and cant find much so it looks like its a piece of crap modchip. does anyone know if i can change or update the modchip settings & change the region on this thing?

cool thanks.
i just installed starfall 0.5 and its working so i dont think theres any need for me to change my chip region at the moment is there??
if i do find the need il get my hands one a conductive pen

Otherwise, make friends with someone who can solder.... OzModChips have pro modders in most Australian cities - I'm sure there are lots of members on here with skills too. Maybe I could help you out if you're in Brisbane.

I was having some problems with PAL and NTSC-U games, mostly i fixed discs using methods in the compatibility page. Gecko OS is annoying to use and timestamp doesnt work & crashes on exit if its a channel.
Main reasons was i want to have my wii in english, and want to be able to purchase a PAL game, and play it without editing the disc or using gecko. & possibly to play pal gcn games.

STARFALL looks like it may have fixed my problem. otherwise il goto jarcar.

Did soldering changed the region? Please tell me, as I have that same damn chip.

If it didn't work, then I'm screwed, big time.

Please tell me that it works

hey mate, i didnt bother changing the chip region, just install starfall v0.5 it allows your wii to play any region games (you need to run the waninkoko firmware downgrader or region changer apps first to get to 3.2E or 3.2U). im running PAL 3.2E and everything runs fine now i think.. otherwise my next option would be the conductive pen.

soldering or bridging the chip would change your drive region and allow you to play discs of that region, assuming you install the right wii firmware region.
